Eric V Stacks: On being a Bitcoin maximalist - BFM033

Eric V Stacks is back for another appearance! After a wonderful first conversation (Ep. 023), and meeting in real life in Madeira, we recorded another conversation where we explored: the Bitcoin Atlantis conference, banning by governments, how Bitcoin improves our lives, what to do when the price drops, the discovery of incorruptibility in Bitcoin, being cheerful and constructive in spreading Bitcoin awareness, how broken money leads to perverse incentives in food and pharma, and more!
